Introduction
Research Scientists at IBM drive the leading edge of quantum computing technologies with the industry’s most advanced hardware and software. Join an elite team of experimentalists in quantum computing building a path towards scalable fault tolerant quantum computation.
Your Role And Responsibilities
A successful candidate will have a strong understanding of the impact of junction process and material defects on the stability and resistance tunability of Josephson junctions. The candidate will be able to coordinate and design experiments to identify processes for improvement of qubit coherence and identify yield detractors during laser/thermal annealing of multi-qubit quantum processors. The candidate is expected to disseminate research results through impactful patents and publications and represent IBM in professional and academic meetings and societies.
